ZOE (Zone of Excellence) has various applications for both personal and professional life. So, what does ZOE look like for a Solopreneur?

Your blueprint for excellence

The term outward mindset can be simplified as thinking beyond yourself. Dig deeper and you find that it’s really an underlying attitude that your design was meant not to serve self, but to serve others.

When you think of the word humility, you likely have visions of an embarrassing moment in your life or the life of someone else. You might think of someone getting cut down to size, or a person that is shy or has a mild temperament. None of these versions of humility is what we’re going to discuss when it comes to excellence.

Mindset is tremendously important in relation to your Journey of Excellence. Have a closed mindset and you may never move forward. Have an open mind and your journey may go unhindered. Take a moment to consider whether your mind is open or closed when it comes to excellence.

We don't progress through the journey of excellence in a vacuum. There is an arena where the journey of excellence unfolds. Think about this arena as a whirlwind. The whirlwind is everything life throws at you good or bad, easy or hard, necessary or unnecessary, exciting or depressing. It’s all part of what happens as we progress through our excellence journey.

When you reach for excellence, you may be surprised by the reactions of others. Don't let that discourage you. Take heart. They may represent the best insights if you're willing to listen

The journey to excellence isn’t linear. Far from it in fact. You may hit more than your fair share of roadblocks along the way, but it’s all part of your journey.
